PB: 2019 seems to have been an extremely busy year for ftrack with the release of ftrack review in April, and now the acquisition of cineSync. Simply put, if you’re working on a creative project, there is a tool in the ftrack ecosystem that will help you to tackle that work - in a streamlined and efficient way - wherever you happen to be in the process.ĬineSync was readily used on several locations for The Game of Thrones series. All kinds of creative productions, and all the different stages of those productions, benefit from these tools. ftrack’s review and approval functionality is used on all kinds of 2D animated projects, to make sure that the creative is headed in the right direction and that any revisions are made accurately and swiftly. On projects like Avengers: Endgame, ftrack Studio was used to break down thousands of creative assets, to track their development through the production pipeline, and bring them all together into a unified whole for the project’s stunning final form. On Game of Thrones, for example, cineSync was used in Northern Ireland, Iceland, Croatia, Spain, and Calgary to review storyboards, previs, techvis, and concepts with the producers, directors, and others, wherever they were in the world.

PB: Any specific scenarios where your products would be extremely useful?įL: If you imagine any stage in any creative project, you will find a scenario in which our products might be useful. We’re excited to absorb that expertise into the broader ftrack team and to create some great things together. Via this new structure, we have access not only to the products previously owned by Cospective, but also to the minds that make them. In October 2018, we sealed the deal and acquired Cospective, which is now ftrack Australia. It became obvious that this was a natural fit. Over the years, we spoke a great deal about the synergies between our two companies, not just in terms of our aspirations (to make creative collaboration as seamless and efficient as possible), but also in our company cultures and the way in which we like to work. We partnered at many events, shared many meals, and became friends, as well as colleagues. PB: What was the motivation behind ftrack’s acquisition of Cospective?įL: We started working with the Cospective team in 2015, during which time we developed an integration that linked ftrack Studio with cineSync. It’s become a part of production DNA, from pre to post.įtrack began its friendship with Cospective in 2015. It’s also proven pivotal in the creation of every season of Game of Thrones, multiple Bond films, and every entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. cineSync has helped everyone from small boutique animation houses to industry titans like Christopher Nolan, Jon Favreau, and Steven Spielberg. This is useful because even the simple motion of drawing an arrow on a frame can answer a million questions. cineSync offers secure, fully synchronized media review, meaning that two or more session attendees can view the same footage, at completely different ends of the globe, in total synchronization. Rory McGregor: In a nutshell, cineSync offers similar functionality to ftrack Review but takes it to a much higher level. ftrack Studio integrates with many of the leading content creation apps used in post-production today. This enables studios to modify and flex ftrack Studio to their unique pipeline needs. ftrack Studio is also deeply customizable thanks to the ftrack API. It’s like hacking a path through a dense jungle - ftrack shows the way through production. With ftrack Studio, users can track every asset involved in even the most complex of creative projects, and guide them towards completion. ftrack Studio enables its users to plan out production schedules and to, then, tackle each step of that production. It contains ftrack Review’s media review and approval functionality, alongside a wealth of other features. This makes feedback centralized, clear, and defined by pixel-perfect precision, instead of having it confused by long email threads, where the original point can quickly become lost.įtrack Studio is the next step up from ftrack Review. PremiumBeat: For our readers that may be unfamiliar with ftrack and cineSync, could you provide us with a rundown on the purpose and functions of both programs?įredrik Limsater: ftrack Review is a media review and collaboration platform that enables creatives to communicate and collaborate directly on creative media, whether that’s a video clip, an image, a PDF, or any of a large number of other formats.
